Shoji and kumiko patterns 06 Asa-no-ha coaster

In this video, I make an asa-no-ha coaster using the hexagonal jigumi, or lattice.
The main aim of the video, though, is to explain the concept of the mitsu-kude three-way joint. This joint and the hexagonal jigumi opens the door to an amazing array of fascinating kumiko patterns.

Thank you so much for this video! I have been failing at this joint for a week. Now I understand. It's midnight and I want to go down to my shop. I have book 1 and 2 now I need 3 and 4. Your the best.

[@kskdesign1]

Thank you. I'm glad it made things a bit clearer. All the best.

I know this is 3 years old, but thank you for showing your jig. I do have all the power tools to do this stuff, but I really prefer doing things with hand tools. I normally cooper buckets, make wooden boxes from logs or axe carve spoons, but my wife pointed this out to me and I thought it was neat. When I looked it up though *everyone* is using table saws or crazy jigs with foot powered saws. I was like, if they've been doing this for such a long time, surely they were doing it with simple hand tools. It's a hobby; I want to take my time and enjoy the process. Noisy power tools really ruin the experience for me.

Such a helpful video! I'm planning to make this in a very similar way so all the steps and measurements are very useful. Where did you get the tightening screw for your bevel gauge? It looks really handy.

[@davidphantastic7753]

I made a jig to do everything. It doesn't have the perfect cuts shown in the video, but the final product still looks good. unfortunately I cannot upload my jig with my mini saw in comments.

[@aborigen6554]

Thank you. Now I have an answer to the frequently asked question "where in KZbin will learn to do kumiko" ....

[@craigmedvecky4590]

Thanks for answering the question about why you don't use a stop block in your jigs

[@BCRBCRBCRBCRBCRBCR]

Great video with dimensions, which others somehow forget.

[@BornToulouse]

Sharing your knowledge and skills with the world, and for free, is truly admirable! Thank you Des, i have bought some of your ebooks and they are invaluable resources that i recommend others look into purchasing . Looking into your body of work is so inspirational. Thanks again, and on a side note, i hope that you and your family are doing well, truly.

Awesome! How do you feel about people maybe cutting the kumiko on cnc like xcarve then assembling by hand? I know this is in opposition to craftsmanship, but can it still count towards artistry?

[@kskdesign1]

I prefer cutting everything by hand, but I've nothing whatsoever against using machines if they're available and it's what people prefer. It's simply a different way to the same result. It's also just a different type of craftsmanship, and if the result is the same, it's the same artistry.

[@mmmmmmm8706]

kskdesign , thank you! Much appreciated. Was just wondering what your thoughts were on it.

[@BillGatliff]

CNC isn't traditional woodworking, but there is still endless room for creative and technical expression. Milling machines aren't like copiers, they have their own challenges regarding tool selection and paths, order of operations, tolerances, and so on that must be revisited with each new project. Sure, you can crank out a hundred identical pieces once you master the first one, but I doubt that anyone using CNC as a creative outlet is motivated by mass production. CNC can also be a real aid for people who lack the manual dexterity needed to use and maintain traditional woodworking tools. Paraplegic individuals, for example.

[@jasonbrooks8521]

@@kskdesign1 I really appreciate your insight on the difference between the methods and the artistry.

[@ОлександрШагунов]

Hello! Please tell me which wood do you use for this product? Thank!

[@kskdesign1]

This wood is hoop pine (Araucaria cunninghamii), an Australian timber.

[@ОлександрШагунов]

@@kskdesign1 Thank you!

[@cf8651]

👍 a perfect description

[@davidphantastic7753]

Amazing, I'm going to need to watch this 100 more times before I even get started.

[@Eldalion99999]

so did you get started yet ?

[@TrevorAngell]

Excellent instruction. I've just ordered your books!

[@kskdesign1]

Thanks very much Trevor.

[@trueindia808]

Sir this is BASS WOOD ? please tell me

[@kskdesign1]

No, it's an Australian timber called hoop pine (Araucaria cunninghamii ).

[@trueindia808]

Sir Thanks for shearing information

[@trueindia808]

Thank sir for me guide.

[@ramadantaha3143]

Good job

[@potato-8661]

i m from Bangladesh you have any online class

[@kskdesign1]

No, I don't run any online classes. However, if you carefully follow the pattern videos I've uploaded to KZbin, there's more than enough to get you well on the way. If you can make the jigumi (the base for the patterns), the rest is not particularly difficult. The patterns are the easy part. Cheers, Des

[@potato-8661]

sir can you gave me all kind of measurement

[@potato-8661]

i see your every video you gave us to measurement like mm

[@EvulDali]

Amazing. Looks almost the same as the square asa no ha but completely different way to produce one must be used. Interesting how quickly the difficulty level ramps up from the "common" asa no ha to this. Can`t wait to see the other patterns. I`m gonna make them all even if it kills me :) Fantastic video Des! Thank you so much!

[@cmodek9266]

Thank you for a very nice & useful totorial :)!!!!

[@karo33c.l.99]

Superbe vidéo. Ça semble si simple entre vos mains. Un grand merci.
